2013 24 hour CANJAM game jam – one step beyond

One step beyond was a game created during the 2013 CANJAM game jam held at the university of Lincoln under the themes: object – uranium and concept – madness. Between myself and three other students the game was created over a 24 hours period using game maker studio.

The game is built around the idea of a crazy scientist that has been poisoned by uranium and is escaping the laboratory. In an endless runner style side scrolling game the player must use four lives in order to navigate buildings and scientific obstacles whilst collecting uranium orbs to ensure the madness levels (life) stays high enough in order to carry on play, upon end game the player is asked to save their name to the local leader board.

The screenshots below show the menu screen and the player failing to correctly jump an obstacle.
